Notes about Willem viii van Montpellier

William VIII of Montpellier (in Occitan: Guilhem VIII; died 1202) was Lord of Montpellier, the son of William VII.
He married Eudoxie or Eudokia Komnene, grand-niece of the Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos.[1]
They had one daughter:
Marie of Montpellier
Lacking a male heir William separated from Eudoxie, sending her to a monastery in Ariane.[2]
He married Agnes of Castille and they had:
William IX of Montpellier[3]
Aymard, d.1199[4]
Bergunyo[3]
Bernat William[3]
Tortoseta[3]
The Pope ruled William's marriage to Agnes as illegitimate and Marie was given the throne.[5]
William VIII was a patron of troubadours. Arnaut de Mareuil came to his court after fleeing from the entourage of Azalais of Toulouse, and at least one of Arnaut's poems is addressed to him.
